Coffee & Treats in Pickering

Saint Cinnamon slings sweet, sticky, swirled sustenance into Toronto's taste portals with its world-famous cinnamon rolls, made in full view of the customers. Savour the flavour of piping-hot pastries with a dozen of Saint Cinnamon's Little Cinns—smaller than the bakery's regular-sized rolls but just as delicious and much easier to shove into the pockets of gym shorts for mid-marathon snacking. Customers with wheat allergies or gluten-rejection syndrome can redeem their Groupon for $14.99 worth of spelt or gluten-free baked goods at Saint Cinnamon's Pickering location only.

Danielle Caesar and the confectionists at The Pop Shop rethink classic desserts, placing beautifully decorated, individual-size portions of cake, brownies, and marshmallows on sticks. Guests can customize the pops with pink frosting, colourful sprinkles, and cake flavours such as chocolate, vanilla, and butter pecan.

The Hair Wave Salon and Spa team confidently professes, “No job is too big or small,” noting that it provides the same meticulous attention to each trim, facial, and waxing treatment. The modern vibe of turquoise chairs contrasts the classical aesthetic of wood-accented styling stations, where stylists perform professional haircare services such as conditioning treatments, perms, and relaxers. The staff also renders waxing and threading services to eliminate unwanted strands and leave eyebrows with precise lines, unlike actors who improvise their dialogue according to their real-life mood. The staff can top off spa days with facial treatments that thoroughly clean pores and nourish skin cells, all the while maintaining the fun demeanour, making each staffer’s personality a compelling part of visits to Hair Wave Salon and Spa.

Having crafted cakes for celebrities including Hugh Hefner and Cujo, Sugarbuds’ husband-and-wife duo of Greg Robb and Sabrina Singh employ their sizeable confectionary know-how to whip up freshly baked cupcakes available in various icing, filling, and eggless or regular cake options. Commission the construction of a cupped treat sporting a red velvet or lemon topping. A carrot cake deftly bridges the gap between vegetable and dessert more successfully than a broccoli lollypop. The chocolate cake also features flowers and designs with buttercream. Orders must be placed 24 hours in advance of pickup, granting patrons a chance to determine which cupcake they’ll eat first and which cupcake they will eat while walking their pet llama.
